Biden's Bizarre Gun Control Logic [semi-satire]

Despite the availability of an AR-15 to Stephen Willeford being a crucial factor that helped him bring and end to the Sutherland Springs, Texas church massacre, former Vice-President Joe Biden adamantly asserted that "this is the type of gun no one should be allowed to have."

"I know some will argue that Willeford saved lives by shooting the guy who was killing dozens of people in that church," Biden acknowledged. "But we've got to look at the bigger picture and be willing to make the sacrifices that promote the greater good. If Willeford hadn't had the AR-15 the killer might've shot a few more people. On the other hand, widespread ownership of AR-15s poses a much more serious threat that anti-government types could mount a dangerous resistance to government authority. Eliminating this greater danger by confiscating weapons like the AR-15 is clearly the better policy."

The editors at the Boston Globe newspaper took an even more extreme view than the former Veep and demanded that all 300 million privately held guns be confiscated. "One of the commonly overlooked advantages of the former Soviet Union's gun control policies is that when only government authorities have legal access to firearms the ability of private citizens to shoot one another is drastically curtailed," the editors observed. "Perhaps it's time for us to accept a sinilar trade-off and give up our freedom to own guns in exchange for the freedom to not be shot by our fellow citizens."

In possibly related news, a former Secret Service agent assigned to guard Biden during his vice-presidency claims that agents frequently had to intervene to protect women from being fondled by him. "He'd get 'touchy-feely' at every opportunity," the agent recalled. "We couldn't avert all the groping and would later cringe when we saw the evidence captured in photos of official events he attended. I mean, he doesn't have the same senility escape clause employed by former President Bush and his demented 'Copafeel' magician joke."

Yeah, that's sort of the idea, moron.
